2013 Toyota Avalon

Interesting, but I totally get it, who cares about the badge if you get the technology, comfort and performance you want. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/buying/76-of-drivers-say-luxury-badges-aren-t-worth-it-anymore-here-s-what-they-want-instead/ar-AA20Hs8L?ocid=msedgntp&pc=W069&cvid=69f12a480b1645319bc420ef729815ff&ei=61

These kinds of guys are so stone age and can go 6 feet under imho.

A good take on the manosphere.

I know some love Black, but I just never could get into these all black everything auto's. The Hyundai Ioniq9 is now available in their Calligraphy series Black Ink edition. Hyundai Unveils 2027 IONIQ 9 AWD Performance Calligraphy Black Ink Model - Releases - Official Media Site NEWSROOM

I agree a hundred percent. EV tech applied to bikes, this is amazing...but seven grand. Remarkably close to what every rigid 80s and 90's MTB steel bike was. We get the formula right and then lose it in the name of god knows what. Cool video, cool channel, and too bad you can't buy this here.

Seems China auto industry has taken the lovely Corvette from the very beginning of time and made it an awesome EV. From electric vehicles to AI: China's next automotive revolution on display in Beijing If you DO NOT want to be depressed about how cool the auto's are in China that Japan, Korea, European auto companies and China is showing off do not click the above link. Fascist Idiot47 has truly destroyed this country and the ability to have cool auto's.

I love the clean '04 GT (that looks like the anniversary badge for an '04). I'm a sucker for that gen, even though they're kind of a black sheep of Mustangs.

Obviously, but I'd think you could cut 200 miles worth of range on the battery pack and save hundreds of pounds making it just a more overall efficient vehicle and still yielding 700 miles of range. As I said to David, I'd remove as much battery pack as the engine weighs so it would be a net 0 gain in weight and you'd still have a sh!t ton of range yet it would be more efficient at achieving those miles. I'd assume it would be similar to my guesstimated numbers above.

Without knowing specifics of their design, I'd think reducing the battery pack by the weight of the engine would yield sufficient results. You'd still have a ton of electric-only range and then you'd have your "backup genergator" for when you run out of juice. Speaking of which, I ran into a guy with a 2nd gen Volt a few weeks back while taking my kids on a walk. I asked him how he liked it and what kind of efficiency/range he was getting. He loved it, HOWEVER.. he said he almost never plugs it in. He just runs it as a hybrid. I'm pretty certain they aren't all that efficient when operated as just a hybrid. I thought that was kind of a waste of a Volt, to be using it that way. I didn't tell him this because I didn't want to sh!t on his situation or anything, but I thought it was odd to buy a plug-in hybrid then just never even utilize the full capacity of the battery. Then again, this falls right in line with a multiple studies I've read about that say most plug-in hybrid owners never utilize the plug-in capability of their vehicles.

Maybe, but if it sells units, they will build it.
